Yelp review: "Nice Happy Hour menu....inviting selection of cocktails, wine, beer, and appetizers. Especially like the truffle oil and honey Brussels sprouts and the personal pizza.....great way to unwind after a stressful day of retirement!!" - Linda H.

Yelp review: "Outstanding food and service. We love visiting when we are in town. You won't be disappointed. The service is attentive and makes you feel like family and the food is always fresh and prepared perfectly. The Cannoli's at the end of the meal were the best I've ever had. A must visit." - Patrick L.

Yelp review: "Thank you soo much for a fantastic dinner. After being in the hospital for 3 weeks you went out of your way to make me a special eggplant Florentine over pasta bolonegese and let me tell you. It hit the spot!!! Fresh and fabulous. And the cannoli was to die for as well. We have lived in the area for 7 years and never tried Augie's. This is our new Italian go to. Thank you." - Christine H.

Yelp review: "My meal started off with the "pillow talk" which is a basil and strawberry vodka cocktail, it was amazing. Then we ordered the mussels which came in a delightful broth with toast. we also ordered the French onion soup which, along with all the other food was amazing. For the main course we got the cauliflower pizza that has burrata and truffle oil drizzled all over the top, easily the best pizza i have ever had in my life. A bit pricey for a collage student but definitely worth it!" - Sophia W.

Yelp review: "Had lunch today with a friend and enjoyed my time at the bar watching the cocktails being made.
Staff is super friendly and they take their cocktail ice VERY seriously.
Turn off your phone (for a second) & enjoy the art of cocktail spinning, crushing and blending going on behind the bar." - Hello R.

Yelp review: "I love this place so much don't know if they still offer the happy hour menu Monday through Friday but that was always my fave! Their tapas and craft cocktails are unreal. Try the coxinha croquettas!!" - HC R

Yelp review: "By far the best tapas restaurant I have ever been to. Not one thing I ordered was not a 10!! The cocktails and wine list are fantastic, but the best part would have to be the service. So very friendly and helpful!! If you enjoy Spanish food this is a must try!!!" - Margaret D.

Treat yourself this holiday season with some of the finest cocktails the region has to offer.

Amid shopping and baking and the general whirlwind of holiday festivities, why not sit back and relax with a concoction created by some of the area's most popular mixologists and bartenders? Better yet, catch up with friends and family over cocktails as they come together to celebrate the season.

We turned to Yelp to find out where to find the best cocktails in the Danbury area. The top-rated spot for cocktails is Ibiza Tapas, recently highlighted in a Huffington Post review as creating some of the best Spanish fare in the U.S.

Tis the season with these simple Poinsettia Champagne Cocktail!

One Yelper's thoughts: "Ibiza tapas is the east coasts best kept secret. Hidden in a shopping center of Danbury Ct (we're based out of SoHo NYC), but you definitely leave with a lasting impression.

We were greeted by Ignacio the owner and it felt like you were being welcomed into someone's home. He made us a wonderful cocktail as we waited for our party to arrive.

Once seated, every dish that came out of that kitchen was AMAZING. You can tell they really care about the ingredients they use, the presentation and being innovative. We cannot recommend any one dish because they were all really fantastic (we had about 15 dishes). And we are an especially tough crowd because my boyfriend writes about food from all over the world.
